Edmonton Oilers end-of-season news conference after losing Stanley Cup Final

After a quiet 4,100-kilometre flight home from Sunrise, Fla., the Edmonton Oilers begin their off-season by cleaning out lockers at Rogers Place and holding a news conference at noon.

The team came close to ending Canada’s Stanley Cup drought. The Oilers, led by Conn Smythe winner Connor McDavid and new coach Kris Knoblauch, lost Monday’s Game 7 by a final score of 2-1.
After trailing the best-of-seven championship series 3-0, the Alberta squad reeled off three straight wins and tried to become the first team since the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs to claim a Cup after losing the first three games of the final.

The Oilers, who had a number of chances to tie Game 7 in a wild third period, ran out of gas, puck luck, and time.
